Washington council accepts Core & Main bid for water meters and votes to apply for DRA CIF grant
Summary
Council accepted a bid from Core & Main, LP for a water meter capital project and approved applying for a Delta Regional Authority Communities Infrastructure Fund grant to upgrade the town's water system; both resolutions passed unanimously among members present.
The Town of Washington council voted on Sept. 16, 2024, to accept a bid from Core & Main, LP for the Water Meter Project (Capital Outlay) and separately approved a resolution to apply for a Delta Regional Authority Communities Infrastructure Fund (DRA CIF) grant to upgrade the town's water system.
Council member Tanya Doucet moved to accept the Core & Main bid; that resolution carried with YEAS recorded as Erick Fontenot, Rogers Malveaux, Tanya Doucet and Mary Lavergne and one member absent. Council member Mary Lavergne moved to approve applying for the DRA CIF grant; that motion likewise passed unanimously among those present. The minutes do not include bid amounts, grant request amounts, or timelines for the projects.
The minutes record that the council previously approved the August 2024 financials, which could be relevant to capital outlay funding, but they do not link specific budget lines or match sources of funds to the water meter project or the grant application. The record does not specify if acceptance of the bid is contingent on securing the DRA CIF grant or other external approvals.
Next procedural steps (contract execution, grant application deadlines, or implementation schedules) are not recorded in the minutes and would require follow-up with town staff or the municipal clerk.
